Well said.

There should be absolutely NO questions or doubts about the Constitutional eligibility of ANY candidate for the highest office in the land. It is a no-brainer. The Constitution demands it. Those who slough it off as unimportant, for whatever reason, are not only fools but unworthy to call themselves Americans.

If we do not demand that a potential President (let alone someone who has already been elected to that Office with dubious credentials) meet the requirements of our Constitution, then it stands to reason that whoever occupies that Office is going to defy, rather than comply with what that Document states, and to it’s meaning.

And that is exactly what we have been witnessing since 20 January 2009.

THIS.

That is a very astute observation, and one that I've made a number of times on this forum. If the guy knows he's ineligible, and he knows that lots of people who could do something about it also know that he's ineligible and yet do nothing about it, he has carte blanche to do pretty much any unconstitutional thing he's of a mind to, and no one will dare stop him.

Truly a MAD doctrine.
